SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Combat Genius, Sharp Battle Style!

TL: YYang

“Hiss!! In just a few seconds, he killed the remaining five or six severely injured cat demons!”

“The battle axe in his hands seems like a toy! So strong!”

“…”

Under the aesthetics of violence, almost everyone’s eyes in the audience were glued to Zhou Yi’s screen.

His clean, sharp, and extremely fierce combat style captivated everyone.

Some even compared Zhou Yi’s battle scenes with those of the top students on the first, second, and third screens.

They were astonished to find that Zhou Yi’s combat style was far sharper than those top students!

“The Sharpshooter on screen one is sliding around and has only killed three cat demons after all this time. Doesn’t he think he’s cool?”

“Indeed, too slow. Watching Senior Zhou is much more satisfying—one axe per demon, quick and decisive.”

“Yeah, Senior Zhou’s agile movements make watching him fight an exceptional experience.”

“…”

At this moment, the teachers and students in the audience were immersed in Zhou Yi’s battle.

Some first and second-year students even raised their phones to record.

After all, such a battle scene, rich in violent beauty, would surely garner significant views online with a bit of editing.

Moreover, achieving this as a Saint Knight was particularly commendable.

“By the way, I thought Saint Knights were supposed to be healer professions? When did they become so formidable?”

Suddenly, a voice from somewhere brought everyone back to their senses.

Right, wasn’t the Saint Knight a healer profession?

It’s supposed to be most effective in a team, so how is Zhou Yi so powerful on his own??

This doesn’t make sense…

“Did you notice how high Senior Zhou’s skill damage is?”

“Yeah, I looked it up online. The damage of the Saint Knight’s Pure White Blade isn’t supposed to be high; it’s mainly for causing stagger. But he used it to instantly kill two Nightmare-level cat demons—it’s absurd!”

“I think it has to do with his S+ Rank talent, Protection of the Holy Angel.”

An informed student explained.

“Information on S+ Rank talents isn’t available to the public online! I had to go to great lengths to get this information.

According to the data, the S+ Rank talent Protection of the Holy Angel not only grants the awakener high light element affinity but also provides massive boosts to light and divine skills!

And the Saint Knight’s skills are almost all light and divine skills!”

The student who spoke earlier explained mysteriously.

Those around, upon hearing this, suddenly understood.

“No wonder Zhou Yi is so strong! His talent is that extraordinary!”

“Obviously, if it wasn’t strong, it wouldn’t be rated as an S+ Rank talent, right?”

“True…”

“……”

In Zhongxia Country, any talent rated A-Rank or above was nearly impossible to find information about online.

Previously, everyone knew S+ Rank talents were rare, but they had no concrete concept of them.

Now, with this explanation, everyone realized just how powerful an S+ Rank talent truly was!

“You all are only seeing the surface.”

At this point, the rocket class homeroom teacher, who had been closely observing Zhou Yi’s battle, couldn’t help but instruct:

“The Protection of the Holy Angel talent is indeed very strong, providing a massive boost to skills.

But don’t forget, Zhou Yi didn’t use any skills when he killed the first cat demon.”

The rocket class homeroom teacher’s eyes gleamed.

“Zhou Yi’s first kill seemed simple, but it was actually very difficult to execute.”

“The angle of the axe swing, the control of the attack distance on the cat demon, and so on.”

“Even a slight mistake would have resulted in Zhou Yi being torn apart by the cat demon’s claws!”

“From this, you can see that Zhou Yi has extremely strong combat awareness!”

As he spoke, the rocket class homeroom teacher felt a bit regretful.

Such a promising student, how did he not end up in the rocket class during the class assignments?

However, what he didn’t know was that Zhou Yi’s transformation began only a year ago.

“True, if it were me, even with an S-Rank talent, facing that pounce, I might not have reacted in time and would have been killed.”

“Senior Zhou’s timing for skill release is also spot on. When ambushed by the cat demon, he almost instantly used Pure White Blade.”

“I compared it just now, and Senior Zhou’s combat style is much sharper than the top students on the other three screens!”

“……”

Listening to the rocket class homeroom teacher’s explanation, many students realized that Zhou Yi’s strength wasn’t just due to his talent.

It was also because of his incredibly sharp combat style!

He could truly be called a combat genius!

“Zhou Yi’s combat awareness is indeed impressive, but this is just the first wave of cat demons, and he’s already expended so much energy. It’s not very wise.”

Watching the impressive display on the screen, Jia Tao, the Education Bureau Director in the front row, looked slightly relieved but still wasn’t optimistic about Zhou Yi.

As the city Education Bureau Director, he had witnessed countless college entrance exams to reach his position.

He knew that in a Nightmare-level dungeon, the challenge wasn’t just the strength of the monsters.

It was also the seemingly endless waves of monsters!

The sheer number of monsters could exhaust even the best mages, causing them to fail the exam.

And while Zhou Yi mostly relied on brute force, it’s important to remember that this isn’t a game.

The immense weight of the battle axe was a significant burden for any professional!

One swing, two swings, might not feel like much.

But after hundreds of swings, he might not even have the strength to hold the axe!
